Tell him to put his ear on your belly!!! My .Fiance coudn't feel it with his hand until I was about 21 weeks or so...But he always felt it with his ear!! I think it's just more sensitive!!

I don't think I have been felt the baby move like that.

I think I have felt something at night time but nothing like a kick.

Would something be wrong?

I am also a tad bit heavier

how far along are you? At the beginning you don't really feel kicks its more like the feeling of having butterflies in your stomach.

If this is your first child it will take longer for you to feel it too, it took me ages to realise that this was the baby moving about with my first pregnancy!
